Road idiots

My wife was on her way to go pick up our kid from school this afternoon and got hit. She and the other driver are just fine. The other driver was going in the opposite direction and decided to make a left hand turn right in front of my wife. Basically turned right into the side of her car. There was no turn lane and it was a double striped middle of the road. It doesn't look really bad but its going to need a new rear door and possibly a new left rear quarter panel because the metal is creased in a bad spot. Any body guys out there agree?
I did have to laugh when my wife told me the story. The woman that hit her got out of her car and said to my wife, "Didn't you see me making a left hand turn?" My wife's reply was "There is no turn lane here! Didn't you see me driving?, and YES! I did see you make your turn. Right into the side of my car!"

Take the skin off and run it through an English Wheel with no crown. Tell your wife to start driving under the assumption that all the other drivers are out of their minds.

That sucks.

I was behind a car that rear-ended a Suburban this morning. We were all waiting to turn right at a stop sign. I think the car driver moved a little too quick. I watched as both pulled to the shoulder. The Suburban gets out and I read his lips "What the F&*$!!?) I was past them at that point.

I was driving a Peterbuilt today so LOTS of people got to experience the air horn today.

Freakin' idiots.
